Definitions
- the present invention relates to an indication device for indicating at least one chemical value of a fluid, in particular of a body fluid, wherein the indication device comprises at least one first indication element provided for contacting the fluid, which is arranged on a carrier having a longitudinal extent which corresponds to at least three times its maximum transverse extent.
- the indication device is set up in particular for the indication of the pH value of body fluids and can preferably be used to determine the acid content of the vaginal milieu due to its elongated shape.
- vaginal infections and premature births are the colonization of the vagina with bacteria causing infections.
- Such changes in the vaginal milieu are often unnoticed by the pregnant women.
- the foreign bacteria displace the naturally existing in the vagina lactic acid bacteria, which produce an acidic vaginal environment by the formation of lactic acids.
- the acidic vaginal environment provides a natural protection against the ingress of foreign bacteria.
- a change in the natural balance to the detriment of the lactic acid content leads to a measurable change in the pH. This means that conclusions can be drawn on foreign, harmful bacteria by determining the pH value. The sooner a pathological change in the vaginal junction due to foreign, infection-causing bacteria is detected, the sooner countermeasures can be initiated by the attending physician to avoid premature birth.
- an abnormal increase in the acidity of the vaginal junction may indicate damage to the amniotic sac, in which small amounts of amniotic fluid enter an upper vaginal area.
- the leaked amniotic fluid leads to an increase in the pH.
- conclusions can be drawn about a possibly damaged fruit biome. As a result, treatment measures can be taken early.
- a cotton swab which is impregnated or impregnated over its entire length with a liquid indicating the acidity. Due to its slim shape, this cotton swab can be used advantageously for determining the pH in the upper vaginal area. By contact with the upper mucosa of the vagina, it changes its color.
- the pH of the vagina miüeus in addition to the determination of the pH of the vagina miüeus also the requirement or the need to remove body fluids for the purpose of making a smear. It may be necessary to remove vaginal fluids for general microbiological examination.
- a glove which consists of a light, liquid-impermeable material and on whose one fingertip area a indication strip is arranged.
- a disadvantage of this device is that the indication strip is located very far forward on a glove finger, so that only a too small or no surface between indication strips and glove finger tip for receiving body fluids is available.
- a wetted with body fluid glove is cumbersome fed to a microbial analysis in a laboratory.
- Another known device for determining the pH value, with which, if appropriate, body fluid can also be taken up for a swab, is an elongated carrier element which is covered with a protective cover on which a indication strip is arranged.
- this device has the disadvantage of relatively high manufacturing costs and due to possibly resulting in use of folding or creasing of the protective cover on the mediation of an unpleasant feeling.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device with which several examinations can be performed simultaneously and thus save time and money after only one contact with a body fluid.
- an indication device for the indication of at least one chemical value of a fluid, in particular a body fluid, which comprises at least one first indication element provided for contacting with the fluid, which is arranged on a carrier having a longitudinal extension which is min - At least equal to three times its maximum Querersteckung.
- a swab element which is preferably a cotton wool swab, is arranged for at least short-term uptake of the liquid.
- the chemical value is preferably a biochemical value, such as a pH.
- the indication device according to the invention is preferably a device for measuring the pH.
- the absorption of the liquid on the smear element can be done by adhesion.
- the swab element can be an integral part of the carrier.
- the first end of the carrier, on which the swab element is arranged, is an end of the carrier in the direction of its longitudinal extent.
- the ratio of longitudinal extent to transverse extent requires an elongated shape of the carrier and thus a pin or pin shape.
- the outer shape of the carrier is not limited to a round cross-section, but the carrier may optionally also have a polygonal cross-section, in this case preferably with rounded edges.
- the indication element is arranged directly on the carrier and thus contacts the carrier directly.
- the indication element is, as already explained in more detail, preferably a pH indication strip for the optical determination of the acidity of the liquid.
- the indication element is designed as a surface element and advantageously as an adhesive tape.
- the indication device may be made of the same material as the indication element. This means that a gripping area encompassed by the carrier is also made of the indication material. This is thus an alternative embodiment to the embodiment of the invention in which the indication element is mounted on the carrier.
- the swab element is formed by the carrier.
- the swab element is thus an integral part of the wearer.
- the swab element is made of a different material than the carrier.
- the swab element is not an integral part of the wearer but, for example, a cotton swab adjacent to the wearer.
- the smear element is thus not designed as an indication element.
- the indication element directly adjoins the swab element.
- the indication element and the swab element can be made of the same or different materials.
- the indication element is therefore likewise arranged at the first end of the carrier, but positioned starting from the swab element behind the latter. That is, the swab element forms the end of the indication device, with the indication element being disposed adjacent to the smear element.
- a favorable embodiment of the invention is that the carrier at least partially has the shape of a hollow cylinder and the swab element has a pin which is at least partially plugged into the Hohlzyünder or plugged, so that connected to the pin receiving area of the swab element protrudes to receive the liquid from the hollow cylinder.
- the combination of an indicator element on the carrier and a smear element at the end of the carrier can be realized in a simple manner by inserting the pin into the hollow cylinder of the carrier.
- the hohizyiinderförmige carrier is preferably made of cardboard or other biodegradable material, wherein the indication element is adhered as an adhesive tape on the carrier.
- the receiving area on the pin of the swab element is configured as a first cotton swab whose maximum transverse extent is greater than the inner diameter of the hollow cylinder.
- a smear inserted into the hollow scraper element a translational degree of freedom is taken in one direction, whereby an unwanted insertion of the Wattbausches is prevented in the hollow cylinder of the wearer.
- the design with cotton ball can be extended by a second cotton ball, so that the smear element on both sides of the pin has a cotton ball.
- both cotton balls protrude out of or out of the carrier, so that the indication device can be used on both sides for a swab.
- a conventional cotton swab with cotton balls arranged on both sides can thus be used to produce the indentation device according to the invention.
- the indication element is likewise configured with a pin and adjoining second cotton ball, wherein the pin of the indication element is also inserted into the Hohizyiinder or pluggable.
- the first and the second cotton ball are arranged side by side at the first end of the carrier.
- the cotton ball of the indication element is preferably impregnated with an indicator indicating the pH of a liquid.
- the second end of the carrier which is opposite the first end, is preferably designed as a manually usable handle. That is, at least the second end of the carrier is made so stable that it can be grasped manually and the entire indication device inserted into the sheath and pulled out.
- the Hohizyiinder has at least one point narrowing its hollow cross section in at least one direction running transversely to the hollow cylinder longitudinal axis.
- This constriction should be shaped such that a narrowest dimension of the constricted cross-section is less than the maximum extent of the transverse extension of a swab element, especially for the situation in which the smear element is inserted as a cotton swab in the carrier serving as a hollow cylinder , This results in a positive locking of the smear element in Hohizyiinder in a translational degree of freedom in the carrier longitudinal direction.
- the fixation of the smear element can be improved if necessary by an adhesive bond between the carrier and the smear element in the pressed or pressed-in area.
- the Hohizyiinder of the carrier and the swab element have substantially the same diameter.
- the maximum transverse extent of the carrier or swab should be substantially equal.
- the indication element touches the skin of the vagina and is moistened in the area of the smear element at the same time.
- the swab element and / or the indication element and / or the carrier are made of a biodegradable material.
- the indication device must be made of the same environmentally friendly material. It can be natural materials such. As cotton, paper, cardboard or other materials made from biopolymers can be used.
- the use of the indication device for the indication of at least one chemical value of a fluid and for the simultaneous fluid withdrawal for performing a smear is also provided according to the invention.
- the indication device according to the invention is preferably used for the indication of a pH of a liquid and for the removal of the liquid, in particular vaginal fluid.

- FIG 1 an inventive indication device is shown, in which clearly the Stiftz. Bar shape is recognizable. That is, it can be seen that the longitudinal extent 41 is substantially larger than the transverse extent 42. It estst this case on a longitudinal support 40 at the first end 44 of a swab element 50 is arranged. This swab element 50 has a receiving area 52 for receiving liquid. On the carrier 40 is in the Near the first end 44 a first indication element 10 attached.
- This first indication element 10 may be, for example, an indicator strip, preferably self-adhesive.
- the invention is not limited to the distance between the first indication element 10 and the swab element 50, but it may also connect the first indication element 10 directly to the swab element 50.
- the indication device is easily insertable into body openings, such as a vagina, in which it is wettable with body fluid, so that the pH of the fluid can be indicated by the first indication element 10 and at the receiving area 52 of the smear element 50 adhering body fluid can be supplied to a study.
- a second indication element 20 can also be arranged spaced apart or directly adjacent to the first indication element 10, with which a chemical value of the body fluid can likewise be displayed.
- This second indicator Element 20 may also be a pH indicator for comparison with the first indication element 10, or an indication element to display a different value.
- FIG. 2 shows a carrier 40 which has the shape of a hollow cylinder 43. With the dashed lines, the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 43 is indicated.
- a carrier is preferably made of cardboard or other biodegradable material.
- FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of a swab element 50, which has a pin 51 on which cotton balls are arranged on both sides, namely at a first end of the first cotton swab 53 and at the opposite end the second cotton swab 54.
- swabbing Element 50 may be a conventional cotton swab.
- the cotton balls 53, 54 thus also represent the respective receiving areas 52.
- the swab element 50 can be arranged in a carrier 40 shown in FIG. 2 such that the two cotton balls 53, 54 protrude from the carrier 40 on both sides (not shown) ).
- the swab element 50 is thus formschiüssig at least in its translational degrees of freedom in the carrier 40 fixed.
- FIG. 4 An alternative embodiment of the swab element 50 is shown in FIG. 4, wherein a receiving region 52, here also in the form of a cotton swab, is arranged on only one side of a shorter pin 51.
- a swab element 50 may also be located in the hollow Cylindrical support 40 are taken according to Figure 2, wherein it is preferably to be stuck or clamped for fixing in this carrier 40.
- the device shown in FIG. 4 can also be used as the third indication element 30, which has a handle 31 and a cotton pad 32 connected thereto.
- this third indication element 30 can be inserted next to a swab element 50 according to FIG. 3 into a hollow cylindrical carrier 40 so that both cotton swabs 53, 32 are arranged at a first end 44 of the carrier 40.
- the first cotton ball 53 of the swab element 50 serves to absorb body fluid in the manner described.
- the cotton ball of the third indication Eiementes 32 is impregnated or impregnated with an indication liquid and is used to display a chemical value, in particular a pH.
- FIG. 5 shows a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention in which a constriction 46 is provided in the carrier 40, which leads to a reduced internal cross section of the hollow cylinder 43, so that the cotton balls 53, 54 of the swab element 50 do not escape from the carrier 40 can be pulled in the direction of the restriction 46.
- the present invention is not limited to the fact that the second cotton ball 54, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, is arranged in the carrier 40, but it can also protrude from the second end of the carrier 45 from this.
- the constriction 46 can be dimensioned such that it comes to a contact of the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 43 of the carrier 40 with the pin 51 and at least a slight interference fit between these components is realized. Thus, between a form-locking fixation and positioning of the swab element 50 in the carrier 40, a non-positive fixation is also realized. To further increase the strength of the mechanical connection between the carrier 40 and the swab element 50, an adhesion, preferably in the region of the constriction 46, can be made between these components.
